Rochdale Ramblers

We organise walks each weekend and each Thursday as follows:

Thursday walks - alternate between 7.5 miles moderate and 5.5 miles leisurely

Weekend walks - alternate Saturdays and Sundays, normally moderate 7.5 - 12 miles

Saturday leisurely walks - one Saturday per month about 5 miles

The walks programme can be downloaded here 

Walks are graded using the national Ramblers scheme outlined at https://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking-hub/how-know-which-ramblers-walk-right-you

Most of our walks are Leisurely or Moderate with a few in the  Strenous category.
